You've said that it would be improper for you to wear a dress, but what would you think if Mina wore suit?

...God, she would be stunning in a suit...

"Come on, keep your comrade warm" sounds pretty interesting! What can you tell us about it?

it is my Idea from before about war-era schlatt + bee >:)

i will attach a bit below

the plane is barely big enough for two people to sit comfortably, and the airflow is nonexistent, but schlatt tucks a cigar between his teeth and flicks open a lighter anyway.

bee couldn’t care any less. bee could care a lot less. bee’s pretty damn sure the pilot is gonna nosedive them straight into the tarmac for a lesser offence than cigar smoke- if running a dictatorship can be considered a lesser offence.

This dream realm that you speak of... I'm not certain how I got here, either, but I might as well get to know more. Are there any other people apart from you and me? Any other "dreamers", or people native to this "land"?

???:

Lets say getting here is as easy as falling asleep...

Anyone can do it with varying difficulty and success.

As for the Dreamers.

???: Of course there's more of us, could you imagine a world with no ☁️⏳🧠👤?

If you need a name for it then call us Slumbers, every room has theirs.

Dreamers are only those who dream.

Don't even think about it.

Mmm, too late.

It's a good idea, no?

[voivode-dracula]

I've got a huge problem. Our last mission went terribly, the client betrayed us, and now I've got no money to pay my mercenaries. Furthermore, I think The King In Yellow might be mad at me? Or at least, he's not answering when I call to him. On second thought, he's probably busy –as expected from a monarch such as him–, and he doesn't respond.

So, prompted by your sudden generosity, I'm writing to ask for your help (something I never expected to do). I'm still in Carcosa, if you need to find me.

((Don't take this message very seriously, I just thought it'd be funny (because it's sad).))

Cry Havoc, for the WIP ask game!

This one is my Graves/Shadow Company origin story, which has yet to be published. The prologue and epilogue are set a little bit prior to MW2022, showing how Graves came into a contract with Shepherd and the incident that led to the missiles getting stolen. The rest of the story is part of the background for several of my OCs and my headcanons for the rest of Shadow's formation, detailing his history with his senior staff (Alex included, of course), why he left the military, and providing him with an axe to grind with Makarov by the time MW2022's story roles around.

The plot centers around a counter-terrorism operation with the goal of eliminating Makarov and Al-Asad to prevent the former from striking a deal with a terror group in the Middle East, in which Graves is placed in charge of a joint task force to carry out said mission. It goes south quickly and Graves and his subordinates are left for dead, leading to them facing poor odds on their own to return home and leading to his disillusionment with his superiors.

However! This excerpt is from the prologue, when Shepherd approached Graves with the intention of getting SC to help him keep his hands clean. He leverages Graves' personal beef against him and makes him an offer, but Graves is hesitant given his own past experiences. Not that he's going to let Shepherd know that:

“We’ll be in touch. That’s the best I can give you right now,” he said, getting to his feet. Shepherd seemed caught off guard, like he’d been expecting immediate action, but he wiped the look off his face and reached for the folder he'd brought. Phillip immediately placed his hand over it. “Ah-ah-ah.” He slid it away from him, gesturing with it as he lifted it up off the table. “This goes with me.” Shepherd rose to his feet as well, an incredulous look on his face. He was built like a bull and probably just as stubborn, but the posturing didn't work on Phillip. He stood his ground as the General fixed him with a stern look, a vein popping out on his forehead. “Surely you don’t think you can just—” “You’ll get it back, General. Calm down,” Phillip said with a light, dismissive laugh as he tucked it under his armpit. “For now…eh, let’s call it collateral.” He gave him a tight-lipped smile, well versed in the art of false niceties and Southern charm. He held out his hand for a civil departure, but Shepherd. Phillip sucked in a breath through his teeth, feigning disappointment. “C’mon, don’t be like that. If you want me to work for you then you oughta play nice.”

4, 5 and 16 for Visenya, 7 and 18 for any other OC!

Thanks you for the ask!

4. Do they have an accent or dialect?

With Visenya, it is still something I am trying to decide on fully. With her being the technical sister of Shanalotte/Emerald Herald, she may have an ever so slight 'Irish' tone to her voice under certain circumstances- though they were both raised differently, so I am quite unsure.

If I had to give her any sort of voice, I'd say she'd either sound like Mallorie Rodak (The voice of English dubbed Frieren) or Laura Bailey (Voicing Jaina Proudmoore in World of Warcraft), though I'd lean more towards Jaina's voice.

5. Do they like to sing? Are they good at it?

Visenya is someone who loves to sing, even if she is very shy on the matter. She has a very calming voice, and can often be heard humming to herself as she works. She would have to trust you a lot to sing arounf you though, even if it's only quiet.

16. Do they prefer to eat alone or with company?

Having grown up around royalty and nobility, Visenya was more than likely subject to attending many fancy dinners and feasts, so she would have eaten around many others. That being said, she would prefer to take her meals alone, or with a few small selection of people, to feel most comfortable.

18. Morning person or night owl?

For this one I will answer on behalf of two of my characters who I haven't touched upon much before - Lilith, and Elivana.

Lilith would 100% be a night owl, losing track of time in her books and studies. This often made her late for her lessons in the Dragon School, but her adeptness at her craft made up for it. Mostly.

Elivana is a hunter, so she'd but up at the crack of dawn to stalk her prey, whether hunting for game, prey, or dragons. So I'd say definitely a morning person.
